- "According to the intelligence I have, the Iroquois still have a population of 140,000. However, there are only a few women and children among them, and most of them are male elite warriors."
Wang Shan told Zhao Hongyu in detail based on his own intelligence.
"There are still a population of 140,000, which is really a lot. If we want to deal with these people, it will be a bit troublesome."
Zhao Hongyu thought for a while and then said to Wang Shan.
Wang Shan nodded: "This is 140,000 people. It is indeed difficult to solve. Even if it is 140,000 pigs, it is still very troublesome."
Wang Shan also strongly agrees with Zhao Hongyu¡¯s point of view.
"No matter what, let's start preparing first. As you said, the French can't hold on for long." Zhao Hongyu stood up and walked to the window, opened the window and said.
"Okay, I will gather the legion to prepare for war."
Wang Shan responded.
"By the way, the people we sent to Europe three months ago to inform the French, have you received any news about Sarah and me?"
Zhao Hongyu suddenly remembered something.
"Not yet, Your Highness, I guess France is having a headache over this. Because Quebec is a big piece of fat, many people are very coveted for this land. Now that you are a variable, they are probably thinking about how to deal with it. Woolen cloth."
Zhao Hongyu curled his lips: "How to deal with that is their business. I just informed them that Sarah has become my woman. And as Sarah's husband, now I also have all the rights to Quebec. They have Nothing can be changed.¡±
Wang Shan smiled and said: "Yes, Your Highness, we are just informing them here. Now they can't change anything, and it is impossible to change anything. Things have reached this point, and it is impossible for them to play tricks. of."
The smile on Wang Shan¡¯s face was very sinister.
"And I'm thinking that now the French also know that Quebec is being besieged by the Iroquois. After all, Quebec is not far from Manhattan, and the Europeans living here still know some news."
Wang Shan said to Zhao Hongyu.
¡°Are there any rumors in the city recently?¡± Zhao Hongyu asked.
"There are no special rumors, just some about the Quebec War. And some tidbits from Europe, but none of them can attract our attention."
Wang Shan returned to the road.
Zhao Hongyu pondered for a while and then said to Wang Shan: "What do the Europeans living in Manhattan think about the matter between Sarah and me? Do they have anything to say about it?"
Wang Shandao: "There is no big reaction. For them, these things are too far away from them and have nothing to do with them. So those Europeans don't care about it at all."
Zhao Hongyu nodded.
"It's been three months, and there's still no feedback from the French. This is a little bit wrong."
Zhao Hongyu thought about it for a while and felt that there was something unclear about it.
Wang Shandao: "Yes, I also think this is not right. You must know that Quebec is rich in fur, and fur has a huge market in Europe. The French will never give up this land so easily. And in the Americas The French only have this piece of land in the New World. If they don't even have this land, how can they develop the New World?"
"If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. It's better for us to be careful. Otherwise, if something happens to us, it will be bad." Zhao Hongyu warned.
Wang Shan responded.
¡°How is land reclamation going on Manhattan Island now?¡±
Zhao Hongyu asked again.
Wang Shan replied: "Land reclamation is in progress, and the cattle we graze are now put to use. Now on Manhattan Island alone, the Mohicans have reclaimed about 50,000 acres of land, and they have all been planted. Chinese cabbage, peppers, wheat, watermelon, potatoes, and other vegetables and grains.¡±
Having said this, Wang Shan licked his lips.
"When autumn comes, we will be able to harvest, and there will be more types of food. By then, we will be able to eat whatever delicious food we want."
Zhao Hongyu raised his finger and pointed at Wang Shan: "Look at you like this, how greedy you are. Are you just a foodie?"
He was quite dumbfounded.
"Young Master, life is just for food and drink, so there's nothing wrong with me being greedy."??. "
It was rare that Zhao Hongyu was in a good mood, so Wang Shan also made a little joke with him¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
"Come on, come on, put the wood over here. You guys will drive the piles here, and a few people will help over there."
Lake Ontario, like Manhattan last year, is undergoing construction in full swing.
Song Hu is so busy that he hits the back of his head every day. He is really busy.
¡°However, Song Hu doesn¡¯t find it troublesome at all, because the location of Lake Ontario is very important. From this base, we can expand north, south, and west. By then, we will be able to control the entire Great Lakes and Canada.
As soon as he thought about the large area of ??land he could own in the future, Song Hu suddenly felt full of energy.
"Sir, how many more shipyards do we need to build? Now we have built thirty shipyards." At this time, one of Song Hu's genetic men came to his side and asked.
"There are only thirty shipyards, which is far from enough." Song Hu shook his head. Then he raised his finger and pointed to the St. Lawrence River not far away and said: "Look, there is the St. Lawrence River. From there you can directly lead to the Atlantic Ocean, and ships from the Atlantic can also reach our Lake Ontario through the river. , so we can definitely build more shipyards here, and it is far away from the coast and is relatively safe."
Hearing this, the gene man said "Oh" and said: "What you mean is that the shipyard can build as many as it can. At the same time, we also need to build a port, right?"
Song Hu nodded: "Of course, according to the plan, this place will be a heavy industrial city in the future. After all, here is rich in iron ore and coal resources. If we don't make good use of it, we will be really sorry for ourselves. "
After a brief chat with his men, Song Hu went back to make arrangements for the surrounding construction sites, and then left here.
Today, Lake Ontario is undergoing basic urban construction, so there is a bustling construction scene everywhere. Song Hu cannot always stay in one place.
He took a group of guards to the coal mining site.
This coal mine is an open-pit coal mine 20 miles away from Lake Ontario City.
Basically, as long as you peel back the soil layer above, you can see the black coal.
And the quality of the coal here is very good, it is the kind of coking coal with a high calorific value.
When Song Hu came here, many Indians were busy here.
These Indians all broke away from the Iroquois and joined the tribes of the Song Empire. At this moment, they were digging with shovels and hammers.
At the same time, baskets of coal were transported to the storage area for centralized stacking.
Although the manpower is somewhat backward, under the current circumstances, Song Hu can only use manpower to mine minerals.
Fortunately, there are many Indians who are willing to work in the coal mines, so Song Hu does not have to worry about any problems in coal mining.
"Sir, you are here."
Seeing Song Hu and his party coming on horseback, the little supervisor of the mine ran over and said hello.
"Is everything going well here? Has there been any trouble recently?"
Pulling up the reins, the horse stopped and snorted.
Seeing Song Hu asking questions, the mine supervisor quickly replied: "Everything is going well, these Indians work very hard. As long as we pay them according to the level of their work, they won't Something happened."
Song Hu nodded: "As long as you do things fairly and justly, the Indians will generally not make trouble. You must remember this. Don't be biased in doing things, otherwise it will cause trouble." .¡±
The little supervisor said yes again and again.
"Are you still missing something here? If you are missing something, you'd better tell me. I'll have someone bring it to you when I get back."
After looking around, Song Hu asked the young supervisor.
"There are still a lot of iron tools missing. If possible, you'd better give us a batch in the next few days. Because spring is here, the Indians are looking for something to do. Our work here is not very dangerous or heavy. , although it¡¯s a little dirty and tired, it¡¯s still very attractive to those Indians.¡±
Song Hu nodded: "I'll have someone send you a batch of tools later. I won't slow down your progress here. You must know that many small iron products factories have been built in the city, and there is a demand for coal. The quantity is huge.¡±
The little supervisor repeatedly promised that he would never?Delaying progress in the city.
"That's alright, you go and do your work. I don't need you to accompany me." Song Hu waved his hand to let the little supervisor go. He himself took his men and began to wander around the mining area.
Because it is mined manually, and the mining time is not very long. Therefore, there has not yet been a smoky situation or serious pollution.
And this coal production area is still an open-pit coal mine, so the current mining situation is not very difficult, it just needs to peel off a shallow layer of topsoil.
"Coal is easy to spontaneously ignite. It's okay now in spring, but it will be very dangerous when the temperature rises in summer. Those coal piles where coal is piled need to be careful. If it spontaneously ignites, the loss will be huge."
After walking around, Song Hu told the subordinates accompanying him about his concerns.
"Sir, we will ask the supervisor here to pay attention to this issue."
"Let's go back. It's getting late now, and I don't want to go back when it's dark."
After Song Hu came to the mine for a walk, he turned around and left. (To be continued.
